Biography
Claudine Cognat obtained her MSc degree in Plant Biology and Chemistry in 2007 at the Université Lyon I (France). Subsequently he worked as a food technologist for an oat manufacturer and in partnership with the then Scottish Crop Research Institute on a KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnership) project. This two-year project aimed to understand the chemical pathways to off-flavours in oat based products by using different techniques and methodologies describing factors affecting the shelf-life of these products.
